Dr. Nannapaneni Manga Devi, with a strong belief that the child is the right instrument to change the face of the society, she gave up the secured government job. She found a fitting companion in Ms.Prabhavathi, who extended her whole hearted support in all the ventures taken up by Dr. Devi.
Both of them, Dr.Devi and Ms.Prabha, took training in the Association Montessari International, to equip themselves as full fledged Montessari Teachers. They started a "House of Children" in Guntur in 1965 - when school for threes was unheard of just with one child on rolls.
Financial Stringencies and inhibition towards a new system all these hurdles have been transformed into stepping stones to reach the goal.

Thank you for your support!
